The other's Jewish. Actually one's Belgium, and the other's from the Bronx (I don't know what religion he is!) They were on the Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin talk shows almost every other day it seemed. Sometimes they sing together in harmony and sometimes they sing in English and French at the same time. I have four of their LP's and love them all. There was always something classy and cool about them. Their version of the Bacharach tune "Odds n Ends" is a classic. I have no idea about reissued CD's but I wouldn't pass up an LP if you see one. Nat, I'm glad you love them too, these guys are among the kings of cheese and they have often been made fun in wonderful impersonations by the SCTV folks (John Candy being Young but I can't quite remeber who played Sandler). There was a nice collection released by Capitol a few years ago that is worth searching out if it is still available. Times were different then for an act like these two to become as famous as they did, I guess you still had the middle America housewife quotient who felt that these two tuxedo clad singers, especially with the cute one singing in French, where a touch of Continental sophistication in their somewaht plain lives. The kitsch value is superb as you can imagine songs like "Feelin' Groovy" "Chicago" and "Cabaret" sung at some point in the arrangement in English by Young and in counterpoint harmony in French by Sandler (yep, "Chicago, that toddlin' town" sung in French!) What is especially funny is when these two sing songs of love (due to the unanticipated and totally unintended homosexual subtext!) and songs of lonliness (yep, the context of two guys together singing about being alone!) My favorite is when these two do "Put on a Happy Face" while Sandler sings the lyrics in French, German and Italian while Young sings the line "Put On A Happy Face" in a mugging vocal style. Then they finish up with the final line before the last chorus being "We spread Berlitz all over the place, so put on a happy face!"

Yost" Subject: (exotica) Spartacus and the Ondioline I was reading the liner notes to the Alex North soundtrack to "Spartacus" last night and was a bit surprised by the claim made in them that this soundtrack represented the first time the Ondioline was heard anywhere in America. They make a rather big deal out of the use of this instrument. At first I was skeptical, but the film came out in 1960, so I guess it does pre-date some other early Ondioline recordings that came to mind. Still, I wonder if anyone on the list can think of other recordings in or before 1960 that featured the Ondioline? Other unusual instruments used on the album include (quoted directly from liner notes): the sarrousophone, a wind instrument of a chillingly barbaric character; the kythara, a plucked Roman string instrument resembling a lyre; the dulcimer; the Israeli recorder; a Chinese oboe; lute, mandolin, Yugoslav flute, bagpipes; and the Ondioline. - -- Brad # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 15:56:22 EST From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Tonight in SF - Sat 20 - Hullabaloo From the folks that brought you Bardot A Go-Go Hulabaloo!

I don't feel the need to defend my taste which went missing just before I joined this list and hasn't been seen or heard from since. I mean, at this very moment I'm listening to Perry Como so clearly we're talking about a whole new definition of "taste". But there are some parameters left. Sandler and Young capture something like no one else whose records I have. It's nothing like Andy Williams for instance, whose records I also like by the way. There's a kind of "swingin playboy" thing going with "S&Y" whereas Andy is more like a sweet choirboy all grown up. I'm not sure what is meant here by "lack of inflection" but if you mean "no discernible emotion" I can understand what you mean. It's not that S&Y don't have emotions, but more that they're always a bit too happy or proud of themselves. With S&Y, I'd say it's more like "We could inflect here but we're too cool to bother. Hey check out this harmony part coming up. We're good eh?". Their sound is all about the arrangements and the blending of their voices. Beyond that though there's a "showbiz" feeling - a Vegas lounge feeling - that appeals to me. And they do have a way with a Bacharach tune. Especially - once again - "Odds n Ends" with it's great whistling intro.

The interesting thing about Bud's "pop" records - as opposed to let's say Chet Baker in the Mariachi Brass - is that Bud consistently gets off these great sweet jazzy sax solos almost in spite of the musical setting. The arrangements are cool; the female choir is used sparingly and effectively; and then there's Bud.

Another possibility is the this is 1962 Hollywood and they really were saying "ITS A BABE" in exotic disguise.

He was 65. Schmidt died from complications of AIDS at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center on Friday, said his brother Jim. An expert in Slavic languages, he spent many years translating the writings of Velemir Khlebnikov, an obscure Russian poet who died in 1922. He brought Khlebnikov's play ``Zangezi'' to the stage in Los Angeles in 1986. It later ran at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. For the academy's 1995 Next Wave Festival, he composed a libretto for the opera ``Alice,'' which was based on Lewis Carroll's ``Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' and ``Through the Looking Glass.'' Composer Tom Waits and director Robert Wilson collaborated on the project. Playwrights Horizons and the Music Theater Group presented ``Black Sea Follies,'' a play Schmidt wrote, in 1986. His collection of Rimbaud translations, titled ``A Season in Hell'' after the poet's masterpiece by the same name, was published in 1997, with photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe. http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~art/schmidt.html *Michael Higgins RIVERSIDE, Ill. (AP) -- Glass artist and designer Michael Higgins, half of the husband-wife team who created the colorful and sought-after ``higgins'' glass, has died at age 90. Higgins died Feb. 13 at his home and studio. Some of the household objects he and his wife Frances created from vividly colored fused glass over their 50-year joint career are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the Corning Glass Museum and London's Victoria and Albert Museum. A native of London, Higgins was educated at Eton, Cambridge University and the London Central School of Arts and Crafts. He immigrated to the United States in 1939 and moved to Chicago after World War II to head a department at the Institute of Design. In 1948, he married Frances Stewart, a glass artist who was attending graduate school. In their first tiny Chicago apartment, the two installed three glass kilns behind their sofa and began producing their own art glass. In the 1950s and '60s, the couple worked with major glass manufacturers and potteries to adapt their techniques for mass production, but in 1966 they moved to Riverside to return to independent studio work. http://glassbooks.com/3039.htm FALSE ALARM: Apparently the rumors of Timi Yuro's demise were premature. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1999 12:09:18 -0500 From: "Dom Ciccone" Subject: (exotica) Paul Schmidt, >For the academy's 1995 Next Wave Festival, he composed a libretto for the opera ``Alice,'' which was based on Lewis Carroll's ``Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' and ``Through the Looking Glass.''

It's our second annual Exotica Extravaganza - two hours of jungle jazz, tiki tunes and Afro-Cuban spice by most of Exotica's leading lights, from Baxter, Denny and Lyman to buried treasures by Marty Wilson, Milt Raskin, Johnny Richards and Axel Stordahl. It's not definitive by any stretch, but it might just chase away winter's chill for a couple of hours! We'll hear most of the classics, including tracks from Dom Frontiere's "Pagan Festival", "Polynesian Percussion" by George Cates, Don Ralke's bongo classic "The Savage and the Sensuous" and many others. Also - organist Eddie Baxter's creepy take on "Quiet Village", Hawaiian music Nashville-style by the Paradise Island Trio (think The Three Suns Go Hawaiian!) plus a visit to "The Enchanted Tiki Room". To hear The Retro Cocktail Hour on the World Wide Web, just go to: http://kanu.ukans.edu/retro.html Requires RealPlayer G2 and a minimum 28.8 Internet connection. Coming next week - a compatible program stream for Mac users, too! Thanks for the space!
